Abstract:
|
There is some evidence to suggest that sensation seeking, a variable that has previously been associated with tendency for risky health behavior, is a predictor of intercultural contact-seeking behavior (Arasaratnam, 2004; 2005; Morgan & Arasaratnam, 2003). The present study explores this line of research further by depicting previous findings in the form of a path model and introducing an additional variable, ethnocentrism, into the model. Four hypotheses were proposed and the results from multiple regression analyses supported all hypotheses. The implications of the new findings are discussed. |
